Spectator 2160

[hankir]

Need help with 2 unclued lights.

Have the category figured out and got 1A, 36A and 37D right away.
25A is 18D but not in the same category as above 3.

Cannot think of 6A and 33D.
6A is 6 letters and starts with L.
33D is 5 letters ending in O.

Any hints?

Thanks.

6a LACHES
33d CRITO
from Plato's diatribes of Socrates

[roslyn251254]

just checking you have Meno for 37d??

[hankir]

Thanks roslyn.

I have Zeno.

[hankir]

roslyn, you are correct.
It should be Meno.
1A is obvious but the remaining five
are dialogues written by Plato.

I was going for philosophers.

They are all included in the list on the rhs in this Wikipedia page http://is.gd/vM29tM (I've shortened the URL so as not to reveal one of them).

Thanks bibblebub.

I am not sure what you mean by shortening the URL.
The page you pointed to, shows all 5 of the answers on the right side.

Once you get the theme, you can Google and get a page with the answers needed for this puzzle.

But your URL did help to confirm what I thought were the answers.
Appreciate your help.

The URL of the Wikipedia page includes one of names required and I thought that would be a spoiler so that's why I used a URL shortening site (in this case is.gd) to prevent that name appearing here, yet still providing a link to the page.
